Tetsuto Miyashita is an adjunct professor and research scientist at the Canadian Museum of Nature, with a focus on paleontology and evolutionary biology. He began his career at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller, Alberta. His early research centered on dinosaurs, but he has gradually shifted his focus over the past decade to fossil fishes, particularly those from the early Paleozoic era. His work explores the anatomy and evolutionary history of these ancient vertebrates, as well as the factors influencing the assembly of vertebrate body plans. At the Canadian Museum of Nature, he collaborates on research pertaining to fossil fishes from localities across Canada and around the world, while also supervising students in laboratory settings using zebrafish models. He encourages undergraduate and graduate students interested in research to reach out, particularly those applying for funding or seeking independent projects. His research interests support interdisciplinary approaches and aim to address pivotal questions concerning vertebrate evolution.
